[YouTube-API] Re: Player is too small

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. As you can see in my embed code, I am using the chromeless player with no controls so that can't be the issue for me. I definitely have more than enough height, even if I had controls, so it's definitely throwing a false positive. My height is 271, and the controls are like 15-20 so I have more than enough height.

FWIW, I see this issue a lot nowadays on Facebook where YouTube videos won't play b/c they're "too small".

Cheers,
Steven

Hello,

 This turns out to be the same issue as before, where the controls end
up counting against the available height.

 There was some confusion on my part about the controls autohiding for
small embeds going live last week. That will start happening this
Wednesday evening. In the meantime, you can explicitly add in
autohide=1 to the URL query parameters right now to accomplish the
same thing.
